BEARlin

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  We have our first frost this morning--last night Ryan looked out the back door and said it was raining snow, which sounds funny but looked like an accurate description of the weather to me.  He's disappointed that we haven't had any snow up to now, he enjoyed having so very many snow days off of school last year.  Maybe it's just getting a late start this year.

Anyway, for today's scrapbook layout, we're continuing our Berlin trip pics but this time it's all about the bears!  We discovered that there are bear statues all over everywhere in Berlin so we had Ryan get a picture with every one that we passed.

This is how I designed the layout, but when I went to take a picture of it I put the pages like this:

Do you have a preference?  I still think I like the top one better.  I had the pictures printed out 2x3 inches when I was working at the arts & crafts center in Germany, I was able to show my coworker what I wanted and she printed them out just how I needed to fit in a whopping EIGHTEEN pictures on this layout.  That might be a personal record.

I pulled in the Night of Navy, Call Me Clover, and Crushed Curry from the Funny Faces layout that goes right before this one, adding in Calypso Coral, Blueberry Bushel, and Bermuda Bay for my full palette on today's layout.  What took the longest on this layout was deciding which mat color should go with which picture, and then where each picture should be on the layout, I fiddled with picture placement for quite a while before I started sticking things down but I really like where I ended up.

I really want to get back into scrapbooking, I haven't made any pages in months as I've been concentrating on the Nancy Drew stuff (which has also been great fun).  Just never enough hours in the day to make (and read) everything I want to!  In related news, my newest stitching project is looking pretty good already : ) I wasn't feeling good over the weekend and so I put in a lot of stitching time while watching the first two Lord of the Rings movies, which was great fun and didn't require much energy.

That's it for me today, peeps.  I've got quite a few things to do today, we're starting Thanksgiving prep, I have errands to run and cards to write and a Daphne to walk.  Have a great day, y'all!

Funny Faces

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  We had a pretty relaxing weekend and yesterday I got to watch The Secret of NIMH snuggled up with Ryan and Daphne.  One of Ryan's monthly homework assignments is to write a compare/contrast paragraph of a book adapted into a movie, and it just happened that he was reading Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH at the beginning of the month so that worked out well.  I'd never seen the movie before so that was fun.  It's on Amazon Prime if you're curious.

I'm still working through pics from our Berlin trip in 2021 and today's layout is just fun.

Ryan has always made a huge variety of funny faces and is not shy about mugging for pictures.  I ordered our Christmas cards on Saturday and one of this year's funny faces will make an appearance : )  The hubs cracked up when he saw the picture, apparently I hadn't shown it to him when I took it this summer.  Anyway, I had a whole stack of funny face pictures from this trip so of course they had to go on a layout together.

Once again, I pulled the Call Me Clover color from the previous layouts (the Berlin Zoo layouts here) and used it as my page base, along with Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, and white.  I had a good time making this one.

That's it for now, peeps.  I've got to take Daph for a walk and then I have to make some phone calls, ugh.  Wish me luck, I hate calling people.  Cheers, y'all!

Berlin Zoo

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  The hubs is off work today which always makes my schedule go wonky but that's okay.  We walked Ryan to school this morning and walked Daph at the same time, then I cleaned up some things in the house when we got back and here it is almost 11 and I never really had breakfast.  Okay so I may have grabbed a couple of pieces of Halloween candy but whatever.

Anyway, I have another pair of Berlin layouts to share today and I quite like how they turned out!

Hey look, I spy Hedwig in the upper right corner!  They really do have some very nice zoos in Germany, I know we went to at least one other one in a different city, Köln maybe, I can't remember offhand.  The enclosures all look really nice and we got good views of a lot of animals.

Pandas and seals and hippos and polar bears, oh my!  Not to mention mountain goats.  These layouts are similar to some older ones I made for a visit to the Fort Worth Zoo; Crumb Cake page base plus a bright green seems to work really well for zoo pics.

Today's color palette:  Crumb Cake, Call Me Clover, Shaded Spruce, Merry Merlot, Early Espresso, and white.  I pulled the Merry Merlot and Crumb Cake from the first Berlin layouts I did, and for the one after these two I pulled the green, which you'll see next week.  I think it helps several layouts from one trip flow together without having to use the same colors on everything, and I used the same alphabet stamps for the page titles...well, I used Schoolbook Serif on the first layout, and I used it again here plus Brushwork Alphabet, and I think for the other ones I used both alphabets together.  We'll see.

Anyway, time for me to write out this week's cards and go feed some mailboxes.  Cheers, y'all!

Beautiful Scotland

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  After an unintended months-long scrapping hiatus, I actually got a bunch of pages done last week!  Buuuut I haven't taken pictures of them yet, so here's one of the layouts I finished back in January:

These were some miscellaneous pics from our first trip to Scotland in 2011 that didn't really fit on any of the other layouts.  Had to document the first time we had sticky toffee pudding! : )  I kept the layout suuuper simple with most of the photos in a straight line and then some patterned paper from the In the Wild DSP--it's not all tigers and cheetahs!  Love that floral pattern.

Today's color palette:  Gray Granite, Evening Evergreen, Shaded Spruce, and just a wee smidge of Crushed Curry on the patterned paper.

Cheers, y'all!

Meeting Mimi & Grandpa

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  We had a super low-key weekend...well, they've tightened back down on the restrictions again so it's not like we can do much, but also Ryan had the sniffles so he was content to hang out on the couch, playing on the iPad and watching movies (Indiana Jones FTW!).  Ryan says he doesn't feel bad, but he's definitely not as energetic as usual.  Quiet weekend is just fine :)

So!  On to today's layout from when Ryan was super tiny and adorable.

He's still adorable, but he's not super tiny anymore ;)  You see that baby blanket on the couch behind my mom?  My childhood friend Melissa made that for Ryan, and it dictated the colors for several scrapbook layouts from Ryan's first year.

Today's color palette:  Coastal Cabana, Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lime Twist, and Granny Apple Green.  Every once in a while I make a layout that doesn't use any white cardstock :)

Cheers, y'all!

Ops Group Thanksgiving

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  Since Thanksgiving is this week, I have to share a Thanksgiving layout today!  I made this one earlier this year, though the pictures are from 2009...I, uh, have to work hard not to have pictures that are over 10 years old still waiting to be scrapped. #needmorescrappingtime

Pretty sure this is the Thanksgiving that I was first introduced to sweet potato casserole and I absolutely fell in love.  Hubs and kiddo aren't very big on sweet potatoes, but I'm still planning to make a casserole for myself this week just because I can.  Anywha, for the layout, I pulled out some old, old patterned paper called Autumn Vines and the longtime favorite scarecrow stamp from Happy Fall Y'all to make this.  The thing that took the longest was coloring the scarecrow.

Today's very retro color palette includes More Mustard, Really Rust, Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, and Whisper White; every single one of those colors is retired except, of course, for the white.

We have a teeny-tiny oven in this house, so I need to strategize my Thanksgiving plans.  I think it's just going to be the three of us, but I'm still planning to do it up right...at least I'm limiting myself to only two pies.  And of course sweet potato casserole.  But I did get both turkey and ham...

Have a great holiday, peeps!

Niagara Falls, Part 1

Scrappy Monday!  I've run out of draft posts of Europe scrapbook pages, so today we're going to Canada instead.

In September of 2017, we drove up to New York to visit our friends Scott and Tiana, and then all of us drove up to Niagara Falls and spent several days on the Canadian side.  (Ryan was only seven months old so he won't remember it at all.)  The Falls were *amazing* and I could totally have spent hours just watching the water.

The water is a really neat green-blue color, which drove my color palette choices:  Tranquil Tide, Mint Macaron, Blackberry Bliss, Night of Navy, and Whisper White.

Stay tuned for part 2 coming next Monday!

It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!

Mornin' y'all!  Today's baby book layout has some of my FAVORITE pictures from Ryan's first year--his Halloween costume!  He was the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from the original Ghostbusters.

Ryan actually likes to watch that movie now; there are parts that I remember hiding behind the couch so I wouldn't see them (scary library ghost, I'm looking at you) but those are the parts Ryan thinks are funny and he asks to rewind and watch them again.  Love it.  Also, I believe the baby blanket he's sitting on is the one I was wrapped in coming home from the hospital when I was born--my mom had started making a pink one, but a friend told her, "You want a girl so much, this baby is going to be a boy!" so she made a blue one instead and the pink one wasn't finished before I was born.

Anyway, back to the layout.  Even in my vast DSP collection, I couldn't find a Real Red pattern I liked for this layout, so I used some non-SU paper.  Also it took me a long time to stamp that very long page title and I didn't realize until afterward that the lower-case T is supposed to be dropped a little bit.  Oops.  But I wasn't going to redo it.  There is a Ghostbusters Little Golden Book and one page has "It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!" in huge letters, which is what I was thinking of when I made this layout.

Today's color palette is Whisper White, Real Red, Blueberry Bushel, and Balmy Blue who was absent on school picture day.

Have a great weekend, y'all!  Maybe I'll get a smidgen of stamping time this week but I'm not holding my breath.  Moving is a lot of work. :p

Whidbey Island

Scrappy Monday, y'all!

Making today's layout comes with a story that amuses me a bit.  Most of the time I don't scrap my photos chronologically; I like to skip around to whatever inspires me at the moment.  So I did last week's Pirate Party layout and didn't come back to the other Washington photos for a few weeks or maybe a couple of months.  So I got this one laid out on my table but nothing stuck down, and then I decided to look back at the other layout and discovered I had chosen the SAME sketch for both layouts :)  Yeah, I use this sketch a lot.  Well, I didn't want two back-to-back layouts to look *that* similar, so I reversed the sketch for this one.

But since they're pictures from the same trip, I used Kiwi Kiss on this layout, just a different pattern on the right.

Today's palette, wow that picture has terrible lighting, includes Bashful Blue, Kiwi Kiss, Barely Banana (I put So Saffron up there but it should be Barely Banana), Whisper White, and Basic Gray.  Kinda springy with the soft blue and yellow and all that green, right?

Have a great start to your week, y'all!  I'm hoping to finish another layout later today.

Ryan: While You Were Sleeping

Hey y'all!  Back again with another layout from Ryan's baby book.  My plan was to do pretty much two layouts for each month, but occasionally I had a collection of pictures I just couldn't resist using and that's how this layout came to be:

I took a lot of pictures of Ryan while he was sleeping and had to put them all on here because they're adorable.  He didn't typically nap on the floor in the kitchen; I put him on his blanket one day so I could do dishes real quick and he fell asleep while I was working :)

Today's color palette includes Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry, Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue, Basic Gray, and Whisper White.  Poppy Parade was taken straight from Ryan's outfits, and so was the Blueberry Bushel; I added Crushed Curry because who doesn't like a Superman-esque classic red-yellow-blue color scheme?

I think we're going to a newly reopened state park today to go take a look around while the weather is nice, so I'd better get ready to go.  Cheers, y'all!

Sadie Belle

Hey y'all.  Last week was really tough for me.  It's been a week since she died, and I'm still looking for our Sadie girl in all her favorite spots.  Sigh.

After Vader died last year, I really put some effort into getting a lot of our dog pictures scrapped.  We loved those doggos, and as I told my husband, I'd wager that I spent more time in a room with one or both of them over the last 13+ years than I have with HIM.  Today's layout is from right when we first adopted our Sadie in July of 2006.

Sadie was an accidental acquisition :)  We had driven up to Greenville for the day and I wanted to go to their Michaels, which was right next to Petsmart, and they were doing an adoption event and there was Sadie all tiny and cute and extra fluffy and it was love at first sight and she came home with us.  I miss our girl.  And Vader.  But I'm glad I made all the pages for them that I have; I'll need to get the album put together soon.

Today's girly color palette is Pink Pirouette, Close to Cocoa, Barely Banana, Real Red, and Basic Black.  Sadie came home with a brown collar (I think it had fish on it?! Maybe it was actually a cat collar) but we soon got her a red collar and she wore red for the rest of her life.  Vader wore a blue collar.

The North Shore

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  I didn't get quite as much done this weekend as I wanted to...yesterday I was just SO exhausted that when Ryan went into Quiet Time I pretty much fell into a coma ;)  But I slept pretty good last night so hopefully I'm ready to tackle this week.

On to the scrapbook pages!  Thanks to the Timeless Tropical suite in the Occasions catalog, I finished all my Hawaii pages.

See the pics up close here.  It was pure happenstance that we saw the sea turtles--we had stopped to take pictures along a stretch of beach and saw a small crowd off to the side.  Turns out everyone was looking at the sea turtles :)  Members of a conservation group were there to keep people from getting too close, but we were allowed close enough to get some really fantastic pictures.

Today's color palette is Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, Grapefruit Grove, Old Olive, Basic Black, and Whisper White.  Melon Mambo isn't in the Tropical Oasis DSP, but I thought it played nicely with the patterns I used on this layout.

Ryan just asked if he could get up, so we're getting this Monday started.  Cheers, y'all!

Ely Cathedral

Scrappy Monday on a Tuesday, y'all!  So I said I had just taken pictures of a bunch of recent layouts and here I am finally posting two that I did a long time ago.  Oh well!

These pictures are from Ely Cathedral, which was about a half hour drive from where we lived in England.  I sponged some Mint Macaron ink on the DSP to tone down the white, and I did it with Blushing Bride on the second layout which you'll see in a minute.

I'd finished stamping the entire page and then I got a SMUDGE on it.  Oh well.

Not sure I like the DSP as much on this one as the first layout, but done is better than perfect, right?

Today's color combination is Bordering Blue, Night of Navy, Mint Macaron, and Blushing Bride.  Cheers, y'all!

Because I'm Punny

Happy Friday, y'all!  That holiday smack in the middle of the week threw me off.  I spent half of yesterday feeling like it was Monday again!  But today really is Friday and I have the fifth card in a row with a white card base.

And a pun.  No matter what my husband tells you, puns are FUNNY.

First up, I used the colors from this week's Color Throwdown:

Which means Night of Navy, Petal Pink (I'm somewhat obsessed with it right now TBH), gold and white.  I paired that with this week's Freshly Made Sketch:

I made mine a standard A2 card instead of square, and I'm counting the gold die cut flower as the layer behind the sentiment.  And for a nice surprise, my butterfly card from Monday was chosen as one of the winners for last week's sketch!  Yay!

Okay, my kiddo is making noises so it's time to get him up and feed us both breakfast.  Cheerios, peeps!  (because I'm punny again!)

Bruges

Y'all, I'm very proud of myself this morning.  I used ALL CURRENT STUFF on my layout for today!!

And and AND I finally used the swan from Swan Lake!!!  These pics are from our trip to Belgium in 2011; see them here.  I printed out twice this many pictures, but in the end I decided these were the only ones I needed to tell my scrappy story.

It's hard to tell in this picture but the swan is stamped in Night of Navy ink and the letters are in Tranquil Tide.  And have I talked about how much I love that patterned paper?  LOVE. IT.  I did Daffodil Delight mats on the title block, journaling block, and the one photo of myself with actual daffodils to form a visual triangle and help move the eye through the layout.

Today's color palette:  Tranquil Tide, which continues to be my favorite new In Color; Blushing Bride, which isn't in the Delightful Daisy DSP but plays nicely with the other colors; Daffodil Delight, which really is the color of daffodils; Night of Navy, which is my favorite non-brown or black "neutral"; Old Olive, which is only in the patterned paper; and Whisper White, because isn't that on like 75% of my scrapbook layouts?  Sometimes Very Vanilla works better, but Whisper White is definitely my not-color of choice most of the time.

I just took a minute to sing a song to Ryan, and based on his big ol' grin I think he wants to live in a yellow submarine when he grows up.  Beatles fan already! :)  Cheers, y'all!

Early Christmas

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  Since it's December (how is it December already?) I thought we'd go Christmasy for scrapbook pages today.  Happily for me I just finished this layout last week:

Pics are from 2011; we had my parents and Bennet and Missy visit us in England for Thanksgiving and since we were all together we decided to do Christmas right after Thanksgiving.  Hence "Early Christmas".

There's my mixed-font title, you know how I love me some mixed fonts.  And I've been having fun with both of those alphabets of late.  Since SO MUCH of the layout was Crumb Cake with a bit of red, I had to toss in a spot of green.  And I haven't used Emerald Envy nearly enough.

Colors courtesy of the Candy Cane Lane DSP:  Crumb Cake, Real Red, a smidge of Emerald Envy, plus Early Espresso and Whisper White.  I really let the DSP do the heavy lifting on this layout for accents...I figured if the paper is that cute on its own why bother to stamp a bunch of accents?  The title takes long enough by itself ;)

Festive cheers, y'all!

Ohio Amish Country #1

Well, I thought I'd have time yesterday to make a card to share today, but then I spent an hour and a half in line at the honeybaked ham store and made two batches of cookies.  And I didn't sleep much last night so here it is noon and I'm still in my jammies and don't feel like doing anything but I need to make pies and my little girl dog desperately wants to go for a walk (she might have to get used to disappointment).

So here's one of the layouts from our trip to Ohio's Amish country last October (see the original pics here).  I've never been a giant fan of Blushing Bride, but I just love that picture just to the right of my title that has all the pinky-purply flowers in it and then the pattern from Blooms & Bliss DSP seemed to go so well with it and next thing you know I've got a Blushing Bride scrapbook layout.

Okay so the title took quite a while to stamp because even with photopolymer stamps I have to use a Stamp-a-Ma-Jig to get them straight, but I do really like this alphabet.  And the flower is from All About Everything, which was a surprise gift in the March Paper Pumpkin kit as a celebration for SU! selling a million MPP kits.  Do love that stamp set.

Today's colors:  Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugarplum, Wild Wasabi, and Soft Suede.  Turns out I used Soft Suede for the journaling on all three Ohio layouts I made.  : )

I'm going to go get myself cleaned up while I contemplate pie.  At least pies are less labor-intensive than cookies, only one trip to the oven.  And I'm only making two pies today.  Cheers!

Charming Sunrise

GUESS WHAT, Y'ALL.  Today is the 1,000th post here at Snapdragon Stamps!  One THOUSAND!  And I think that just about every single one of those posts has at least one card or scrapbook page, so that's a lot of ink and paper and stamps.  Dude!

I don't have any special celebration planned for today (oops) but I do have a new scrapbook layout for you.

Pics are from our trip to Ohio's Amish country last year; see them all here.  Our last morning in Ohio, we got up a little early and drove around taking pictures as the sun came up.  This is the last chronological layout for the Ohio trip but it's the one I made first (stay tuned for the other two coming up on our next Scrappy Mondays).

I got the Brushwork Alphabet stamp set when it first debuted this summer, but this is its maiden voyage.  You know I love me some mixed font titles.

Today's color palette:  Bashful Blue, Peekaboo Peach, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, and Whisper White.

Okay, I'm off to do all the things today...walk dogs, grocery shopping, go to gym, you know the drill.  And also play with the new camera we got this weekend! :D  (Maybe that's my 1,000-post prize?  No, this is hubs' and my Christmas gift for ourselves!  Squee!)
